This is some very late advice but I think a possible solution to the issue was to connect the drive to another My Book enclosure (that have similar firmware). If I'm not mistaken, drive encryption is hardwired to the enclosure. Even though you didn't use encryption, it still encrypts data it writes to the drive. That's why you don't see anything when you connected the internal drive to your computer. Odds are you had a broken enclosure and a corrupted partition table.

maybe. . .
I already formatted it and "wrote zeros" to fix the bad sectors, the hard drive now is A-Ok according to the WD thingy. . .
questions for the afterlife:
Who killed kaji?
What really happened to my hard drive?

Have you tried the Freezer trick OP? Put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes, and then recover what you can. Its worth a shot, as it seems the drive itself is going bad.
